"The first house built by the
Bohemians who settled near Munden. This house was built by John
Houdek in 1870. It did not then have the frame part that it now
has and the roof was of grass. It housed the Houdek family of
father, mother and eighteen children and was the temporary home
of other Bohemian families coming to the community. It still serves
as a home."
